Yep, I was hoping to grab a bread knife but the only one not sold out i dont like.
I wanted to get some whetstones, my Global knives need a good sharpen. But all the good combo ones are gone.
You don't need to go with the same Global brand. There are better ones out there like the Shapton and Naniwa Stones.
@williamk30: Yeah okay, I will have a look. I was interested in getting the sharpening rail guides that help with the Global 15 degree angle.
The price of the Global stones did scare me a bit.
You can buy King stones. Global stones are rebranded king stones.
Or like the other person mentioned; naniwa, suehiro, king, shapton are all the well known Japanese ceramic brands for stones.
Rails can be bought on Amazon for about $13 with prime
@KnifeEnthusiastBoi: I literally did exactly that, so that's good!
Got a King 1000/6000 stone and some Global Minosharp rails.
Just waiting for the rails to come, then I will practice with an old Stanley Rogers knife I have before I do the global ones. Hopefully what I got will be all good. Keen to learn.
Pretty amateur when it comes to knives. I want to get the missus a new block set. Can anyone recommend which knife block set I should look at.
None - I recommend starting off with just a basic chef's knife and going from there
I myself got a global set a few years back, maybe use the chef's knife and parking knife on a regular basis
Yeah the blocks are kind of redundant, you'll end up using the chefs knife and a small knife, and the bread knife then the rest theres sort of no point. Chef knife and utility knife will do 95% of what you want. and keep in mind you can't sharpen bread knives so a fancy one gets chucked out the same as a cheap one.
Spend the extra money you'll save just buying a few knives on buying better ones, and make sure you get a sharpener, blunt knives are bad no matter how much you paid for them.
If you're not a big knife person I'd recommend getting a harder steel so you don't have to sharpen as often. Also, a ceramic knife sharpener (have a look on amazon) will help on upkeep, just run it either side of the knife a few times before you cook, keeps the knife sharp for agesYou can get bread knives professionally sharpened, same with any serrated knife. You just need a good person to do it otherwise they get the serrations/scallops wrong.
Are these any good? About to pull trigger on Victorinox Fibrox knives (individual knives, not a set). I'm a noob but it has good reviews.
I've got the same Globals from when I was an apprentice chef 20 years ago….not cooking professionally anymore but they have copped a beating over the years still hold a good edge very well. Some don't like handle/bolster design but I find them comfortable in the hand.
It's a pity just about everything worth getting is OOS -_-
